The agent of Newcastle United target Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has said that his client is a Real Madrid fan, while saying his father would be happy to see his son join Barcelona.
This could be devastating news for the Magpies, considering Eddie Howe reportedly considers the £10.8 million (Football Transfers) the ‘ideal signing’ for the club. The ‘magician’, dubbed as Europe’s ‘most exciting player’ by Jamie Carragher is on the radar of a number of clubs with 12 goals and 15 assists in all competitions.
However, it seems as if the agent of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is nudging his client towards a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid instead of Newcastle.

The Napoli sensation would certainly become a fan favourite at St. James’ Park, if a switch were to get over the line, due to his incredible array of flicks and tricks that makes him one of football’s greatest showmen.
However, the agent of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has now hinted that his client could potentially sign for Barcelona or Real Madrid amid the links to Newcastle.
“His father and I are Barça fans, but Kvara loves Real Madrid. If I see him in a Barça shirt, I’ll be happy but he’s Madridista. Napoli director asks me not to be in a hurry, Kvara likes everything in Napoli”, he said as relayed by Fabrizio Romano.
Unlikely that Newcastle win the race to sign the Georgian
In our view, the agent of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, once compared to Mohamed Salah is subtly sending a message to Barcelona and Real Madrid to make a move for his client, which is bad news for Newcastle.
While Howe and Co. are building one of the most exciting sporting projects in the world, it is yet to be established in the same vein as some of the biggest clubs in the world and as a result, their brand value still diminishes in front of certain teams.
Keeping that in mind, it is not a surprise that a transfer to either of the European giants dazzles the player’s agent.
